Yeah, but I think we both know Phil was the only one, and frankly, I tend to think Jack Bruce could "do" Phil.

:)

Every one of the key board players, right? We replaced them left and right...drummers too, really...I know the Billy fans think not, but w/out singing, w/out song writing, he just wasn't "key", and certainly Hart wasn't.

So, the "core" is getting smaller, YOU gotta give me that, right?


;)

And for Bob, barely; my old Avalon show 68 experiment showed he was important, but I am not sure nearly up there with Phil.

And that's the point, ain't it? You and me can nicely debate it, and argue bout Phil, but he's the exception that proves the rule...ie, it was mostly, in a "percent contributor", Jerry.

Just like the copyright sez, eh?

(recall the biz about what J/Hunter get vs everyone else, blah, blah, blah).
